14 TAYLOR'S FORMULA 195
11. Let I = [a, b] be a compact interval, and let M0 be the vector space of real continuous
functions defined in I and such that, for any / e }a, b[, the limit

(L(/))« = Mm (f(t + fi)+f(t-h)-2f(t))/h*
Ji-»0,/igtO
exists in R. All real functions which are twice difFerentiable in I belong to M0 .
(a) Let M be the vector subspace of M0 consisting of functions /for which L (/) is
continuous in ]a, b[. Show that any function of /e M is twice dhTerentiable in ]a, b[
and that L(f) =/". (Use Problem 8(a) and 8(b), taking S = I, A = B = ]a, b[, and for
N the subspace of M consisting of functions /for which f(a) =/(&) = 0.)

(b) Show that the function f(t) = t cos(l/0 belongs to M0 , although it is not dif-
ferentiable at t = 0.

12. What are the properties of functions with values in a Hilbert space which correspond
to the properties of real functions discussed in Problems 9(b), 10, and 11 ? (Cf. Section
8.5, Problem 6.)

13. Let / be an indefinitely differentiate mapping of a compact interval I = [a, b] c R
(with a ^ 0) into a Banach space.

(a) Show that, for any two integers p> q such that Q<p<q,
"f ll/»ll -. < °Z ll/wp) II -. + f ll/^toll r^r: dx
n=*p n\ n = p HI Ja (fl — 1/i
(For p^n<q, express /(n)(fl) using Taylor's formula at the point b.)
(b) Under the same conditions, show that
f* II/(P)(*)II r^r. dx ^ f ||/">Wi| -?—- dx +

'^WII -
n = p Hi
(apply Taylor's formula to/(p) and use Problem 4(c) of Section 8.11).
(c) Suppose /is indefinitely difFerentiable in the interval [a, +oo[ where a ^ 0, and
that for every integer n^Q, there is a finite number Mn such that ||/<B)(x)||^//i! < Mw
for every x ^ a. Show that for b > a and n < q,

and for a ^ x ^ b
m = fl \jn-qji
where the series and the integral are convergent (use Taylor's formula). Conclude that
one has

and

(d) Show that, under the assumptions of (c), the function
(whose values are finite and 5*0, or +00) is increasing in [a, +oo[.
